The Great Fen project is one of the most exciting habitat restoration projects ever undertaken in Britain. It will create a 3,700 hectare wetland. www.greatfen.org.uk
Always fascinating fungi finds here! Wonder if this one is a slime mould, however. Wolf's milk? Lycogala epidendrum. www.wildlifewatch.org.uk/wildlife-zon...
